Although Nanhai County was just walking together, it was equivalent to being one behind Jiujiang and Jiangdong, Fusu was not worried about the creation of warships. The only thing he was worried about was whether he could recruit naval troops that matched the warships.

Under such circumstances, Fusu decided to set out and go to the surrounding counties to recruit soldiers in person, because it is not as good as the counties around Jiujiang. They took advantage of the east wind that Ying Gao had been to himself, and with Peng Yue, things were naturally smooth.

But the situation in Fusu is different. It is very difficult to recruit soldiers from several counties that are already widely and sparsely populated.

But Fusu knew that Ying Gao had left him a very good policy, that is, among the people in Guilin and Xiangjun, who had previously immigrated to the people of Guilin and Xiangjun, once someone became a soldier of the Qin Dynasty, he could directly obtain the first-level military title.

At that time, many people immigrated for this, so Fusu knew that this would definitely bring him some small surprises. And he suddenly thought that he had something to do, so he prepared a little and told his county lieutenant that he was about to go to Guilin County and Xiang County to recruit soldiers.

Since Hu Hai became the governor of Xiang County like Fusu, the two people not far apart have not met each other. Fusu has been supervising the construction of warships because of Ying Gao's mission. According to his understanding, Hu Hai has also been building Xiang County and is busy working hard.

But Hu Hai still clearly remembers how Han Xin told him when he brought Ying Gao's words to Nanhai County. He knew that no matter whether Hu Hai was really as honest as he seemed on the surface or not, the surrounding areas of Xiang County would definitely not be in peace.

After Fusu left Nanhai County, he naturally did not go directly to Xiang County, but went to Guilin County first. Although Guilin County is not very large in area, it is sandwiched between Xiang County and Nanhai County. The county magistrate Liu Wei had personally met Fusu in Panyu County. Although he was both a county magistrate, Liu Wei showed his attitude very low in front of Fusu.

Fusu still remembers that Liu Wei went to Panyu County to learn from Fusu and see how to manage such a large area of ​​land that was once the territory of the South Vietnamese. But when only the two of them were left, what Liu Wei said was not about how to manage Guilin County. Through his introduction, Fusu learned that they had been in the position of Luoyang County Magistrate for several years. When it comes to managing a place, their experience may not be as good as that of himself.

When Liu Wei expressed his purpose, Fusu understood at that time. It turned out that Liu Wei was also a chess piece that Ying Gao had planted in Guilin County. This person was Ying Gao's loyal confidant, but at the same time Fusu also knew that the purpose of Ying Gao's inserting this chess piece was naturally nothing to do with being careful of himself.

Liu Wei naturally had nothing to hide from Fusu. He was frank and honest that since he had been in Guilin County, he had basically handed over the development of the county to another confidant, Sun Qian, of Ying Gao, and most of his energy was devoted to investigating Xiang County.

The purpose of the investigation is two. One is whether the person who spread rumors in Xianyang City had arrived in Xiang County after Ying Gao appointed one of the princesses of the Qin Dynasty, Hu Hai, as the county magistrate of Xiang County. The other is whether there is a certain connection between this person and Hu Hai.

The orders and suggestions that Ying Gao gave to Liu Wei before leaving were related to Hu Hai. Because Guilin and Xianyang City were far away, Liu Wei had to discuss with Fusu before making a decision. When Liu Wei arrived in Panyu, he would tell him about this in advance. After all, Hu Hai was also Fusu's younger brother after all. If you, Liu Wei, don't give Fusu face, even though you are the emperor's confidant, many things will still be very difficult to deal with, and Liu Wei naturally knew about this.

So this time Fusu wants to go to Xiang County, he must have gone to Guilin County to learn about it in advance. After all, Liu Wei should know more about what his younger brother is doing every day than Fusu.

Liu Wei was shocked by Fusu's personal arrival in Guilin County. In the Bushan County Temple where Guilin County is located, according to Fusu, Liu Wei and other officials, he came here mainly for the purpose of recruiting troops, and also informed Liu Wei and others of the orders given to him by Ying Gao.

Although I didn't know why Ying Gao was so eager, Liu Wei still supported this matter very much. At that time, he ordered that every household in Guilin County be informed of the recruitment and to cooperate with Fusu to complete this task.

After the serious matter was finished, Liu Wei naturally wanted to keep Fusu in Bushan County for a full meal. During this meal, there was only one county magistrate Sun Qian of Bushan County. Liu Wei once told Fusu that Sun Qian was also Ying Gao's confidant, so Fusu had no objection to this person.

"Have the county magistrate observed Hu Hai's actions in Xiang County these days? What's unusual about it? I will set off from here to Xiang County tomorrow. If Hu Hai is inappropriate, you must inform me today."

After three rounds of food and five flavors, Fusu finally asked the question he wanted to ask most this time. Although Hu Hai's affairs were not very important in Ying Gao's mind, it was not on the same level as he wanted to get enough of the navy in this year.

But Fusu didn't know the thoughts in Ying Gao's mind. He naturally had to spare no effort to complete the tasks assigned to him, but what Fusu was most concerned about at this time was Hu Hai's situation.

Although Hu Hai was not very close to Fusu when he was young, like Ying Gao, Hu Hai was also his younger brother in Fusu's heart. He would never want to see Hu Hai being executed by Ying Gao for something. Once such a thing happened, in Fusu's opinion, it would be a shame for the Ying clan.

Now, if I want to avoid such a thing, I can only stare at Hu Hai. Once I find something wrong, I will quickly kill it in the bud.

When Liu Wei heard Ying Gao's words, he first glanced at Sun Qian beside him, and then whispered: "Young Master, I often advised Mr. Hu Hai how to manage Xiang County these days, so I can go to Xiang County from time to time to observe. Mr. Hu Hai is trying to build a city in Xiang County every day, and there is nothing wrong with it, but I have made some unusual discoveries around Xiang County..."

Speaking of this, Liu Wei stopped his words, obviously not knowing whether he should have said the next words to Fusu.

"Are you informing the Lord of the Unexpected Discovery?"

Seeing that Fusu had this question, Liu Wei simply let go and said that there was no good solution for this matter, so why not just tell Fusu directly. What if someone takes this matter over, wouldn't he be relaxed?

"Liu Wei had no idea about this matter, because he heard that the emperor's energy was almost all his focus on the future joint efforts of the Xiongnu to attack the Mauryan Dynasty. Liu Wei did not dare to disturb the emperor rashly, and was sending people to continue to observe. A few days ago, the scouts I sent to Xiang County sent back the news. In the dense forest south of Xiang County, there were a considerable number of the people in the South Vietnamese tribe who had been defeated by the soldiers sent by the prince. They were originally just fleeing to the southern territory in groups, but some changes occurred some time ago."

"Oh? What kind of change is it? Is it okay that what you want to say is that the people of Nanyue have not given up on County and Guilin, and want to make a comeback? If that is the case, you don't have to worry. The combat power of my Great Qin soldiers is definitely not comparable to those of them."

"It's not that these South Vietnamese want to make a comeback, but when my scouts investigated the territory, they vaguely saw a large man from the Central Plains traveling between Xiang County and the dense forest. Although he did not go too deep, according to what he said, there should be some people in the dense forest that were not willing to continue to escape south. They have been hiding in the dense forest south of Xiang County, not knowing what they were waiting for."

After saying this, Liu Wei looked at Fusu calmly. It was obvious that he had not said anything else, and he obviously had some concerns in his heart.

"What you mean is that most of the people in the dense forest were not organized by the South Vietnamese themselves, but were related to the people of the Central Plains. Do you doubt Hu Hai?"

How smart is Fusu? From Liu Wei's words, he immediately analyzed Liu Wei's implications. However, because Liu Wei did not dare to say it casually, this shows that Liu Wei had no evidence and had not made any in-depth investigations to come to such a conclusion.

"According to the instructions of the emperor before, the person who made rumors in Xianyang City may have rushed to Xiangjun. Therefore, I suspect that the great man in the Central Plains who came and went to the dense forest may be related to the person who was walking in Xianyang City before. As for whether it was related to Mr. Hu Hai, it is impossible to see now that the great man is an expert, and his whereabouts are hidden. It is probably extremely difficult to determine this matter."

Liu Wei said this, indeed, to be on the matter, but Fusu knew that if there were people in the dense forests related to the spread of rumors in Xianyang City, the incident of a great man coming and going between Xiangjun and the dense forest would be slightly unfavorable to Hu Hai.

This incident is not good news for Fusu. Since it involves Hu Hai's matter, Ying Gao asked him to make a decision temporarily, it means that Ying Gao still believes in him very much. If he missed such a thing because Hu Hai was his younger brother, it would not only be a manifestation of disloyalty to Ying Gao, but also not a good thing for the Qin Dynasty.

"You can quickly write a letter in this matter and send the fast horses to the Xianyang Palace. Then wait for the emperor's instructions. Never act rashly. Since that person can create such a large-scale rumors in Xianyang City, he is not an ordinary person. You, like Guilin County and Xiang County, are absolutely impossible to capture him without troops. As for Hu Hai, you should keep in touch with him first and see any clues. Whenever there is any news, you must inform the emperor first and then discuss with me."

After thinking about it, Fusu gave Liu Wei such an order. Of course he knew that the reason why Ying Gao told Liu Wei to discuss with him first once something was related to Hu Hai was that sometimes Ying Gao's orders could not be sent in time, and he had enough troops in his hands.

Ying Gao would never mean to let Fusu make decisions in everything. Fusu was very sure of this, so he naturally could not do the thing that held the chicken feathers as a commanding arrow.

Regarding Hu Hai's incident, Fusu had already decided when talking to Liu Wei. If he really had something to do with the person hiding in the dark, he would probably not be able to bring him back at all, and he might even get himself in.

After resting in Bushan County for a night, Fusu bid farewell to Liu Wei and Sun Qian early the next morning, and rushed to Xiang County with his guards. Although Hu Hai might have problems of this and that, Fusu still wanted to meet this younger brother whom he hadn't seen for many years.

When Fusu arrived at Linchen County, the county seat of Xiang County, he found that although Linchen County was still much worse than Bushan County under the construction of Hu Hai, it was already very admirable for Fusu to achieve this level by Hu Hai, a person like Hu Hai who had basically never left the Xianyang Palace since he was a child.

Since he could devote so much energy to the construction of Xiangjun, he wouldn't have anything to do with the person who spreads rumors, right?

This was the first thought that emerged from Fusu's head when he saw the scene in Xiangjun County, but soon, this idea was denied by him again, because Hu Hai was so smart and clever as a child. He really understood it too much, so this seemingly diligent appearance cannot represent anything.

"Brother? How did you come to my Xiang County?"

When Hu Hai saw Fusu for the first time, he was very surprised and showed a happy look on his face. When he was in Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai and Fusu rarely met. Wasn't they born to the same mother? Naturally, the relationship was not very close. From this perspective, the joy he showed when he met Hu Hai this time was something he had never seen before.

Fusu is a person who does not show his emotions. Although he also asked about Hu Hai's recent situation, he did not show any excitement. Hu Hai did not react any other way, but just invited Fusu to his county temple as soon as possible.
